Rewind, Replay: Vidéographie revisits a groundbreaking Belgian television programme that transformed public broadcasting into a platform for video art, cultural debate, and political experimentation. Produced and broadcast by RTBF in Liège between 1976 and 1986, Vidéographie challenged conventional television by turning the screen into a space for creation, critique, and collective imagination. Throughout its ten years, Vidéographie featured pioneering local and international artists who shaped the beginnings of video art.

The exhibition, produced by argos in co-organization with SONUMA - Les Archives Audiovisuelles and in collaboration with Space Collection, presents a selection of archival episodes, thematic compilations, and video works by both historical and contemporary artists.

By bringing these materials together, the exhibition reactivates Vidéographie as a living archive - one that continues to resonate today, in an era defined by digital culture, collective authorship, and experimental media practices.
